The life-boat formerly placed at Sizewell- Gap, on the east coast of Suffolk, has been for the present transferred to Aldborough, five miles farther south, as a more serviceable spot, and where it can be more readily manned in case of need. The boat was built by PLENTY, of Newbury, in 1826, at the expense of the Suffolk County Associa- tion, and has recently been repaired and put into fair order by the National Shipwreck Institution. It is 24 ft. long, 8 ft. wide, 3 ft. deep, and pulls 8 oars double-banked.

It is under the charge of a local Com- mittee, in connexion with the National Shipwreck Institution. An anchor and warp have been laid out by them for haul- ing their boat off the beach, and over the shoals which there run parallel to it, and the boat's crew have commenced their periodical exercise in accordance with the Regulations of the Parent Institution. For the present the boat is kept in a temporary shed, but a boat-house is now in coarse of construction, half the cost of the same having been collected in the locality, and the remainder supplied by the Shipwreck Institution. As there is a very formidable sea to be contended with on this spot, a larger and more powerful boat is required than the one above alluded to; we hope to see one of the most approved description, and suited to the" peculiarities of the locality, placed here before the setting in of another winter.
